Louis Wiley "Billy" Devore (occasionally spelt DeVore, September 12, 1910 – August 12, 1985) was an American racing driver.[1] He was the son of Indy car racer Earl Devore.
World Drivers' Championship career
The AAA/USAC-sanctioned Indianapolis 500 was included in the FIA World Drivers' Championship from 1950 through 1960. Drivers competing at Indianapolis during those years were credited with World Drivers' Championship participation, and were eligible to score WDC points alongside those which they may have scored towards the AAA/USAC National Championship.
Devore attempted to qualify for two World Drivers' Championship races at Indianapolis, failing to make the 1950 and 1954 races.[1]
